IMPROVEMENT lN LADIES WORK-STANDS.

Specification forming partof Letters Patent No. 117,044, dated July 18,1871.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHAUNGEY S. CAPLE, of

f Frankfort, in the county of Herkimer and State of New York, ha-veinvented a new and useful Improvement in Ladies7 VorkStand, and I dohereby decla-re that the following is a full, clear, and exactdescription thereof, which will enable others skilled in the artto makeand use the same7 reference being had to the accompanying drawingforming part of this specification, in Which- Figure 1 is a top view ofmy improved stand. Fig. 2 is a detail vertical section of the sainetaken through the line a' w, Fig. 1.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

My invention has for its object to furnish an improved Work-stand,designed more especially for ladies Work-stand, but which may be usedwith equal facility and advantage for other purposes; and it consists inthe construction and combination of various parts of the stand, ashereinafter more fullydescribed.

A is the top or leaf of the stand, which is attached to the upper partof a shaft or standard, B, to the lower end of which are attached legsor feet C, of such a length a's to raise the stand to a convenientheight. D is a plate or leaf, through the center of which the standard.B passes, and which revolves upon said standard and is supported by theupper ends of the feet G or by a collar attached to the standard B. Tothe plate D are attached radial partitions E, of such a height as toreach up to the top A. The inner and outer ends of the partitions E areconnected with boards F, which thus form a series of radial tills orbins. A portion, c', of the top A is cut out of the same form and sizeas one of the tills or bins. The piece c is hinged at one of its sideedges to the body of the top A, as shown in Fig. 1, so. that by raisingthe said piece c access may be had to the tills or bins beneath. To theunder side of the board D are attached knobs G, for convenience inbringing any desired bin beneath the door or lid c. To the upper end ofthe standard B is attached a spool-stand or rack, H, and to the top ofthe spool-stand H is attached an emery-bag, I, as shown in Fig. 2.

When the stand is used upon a mechanics Work-bench for holding smalltools or other articlesthe feet O should be only long enough to raisethe revolving part of the stand above the said bench. In this case thespool-stand H may be replaced by a rack for holding various smallarticles.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent- 'll-he emery-bag I, spool-rack H, standard B, topplate A having hinged door c', revolving plate D having bins E F, andknobs G, all constructed and arranged together upon feet C, as and forthe purpose specied.
